Allowing Users to Select a Specific View

A view selector view enables users to select a specific view of the results from among
the saved views for an analysis. When placed on a dashboard, the view selector is displayed
as a list from which users can choose the view that they want to display below
the selector.
Generally, you would include views in the view selector that are not being displayed
in the Compound Layout view. For example, you might create a table, graph, gauge,
and view selector view for an analysis, but include only the table and view selector
view on the Compound Layout view. When the analysis is displayed on a dashboard
page, users can select the graph or gauge view from the view selector view.
